2022 Balletto Vineyards BCD Estate Grown Pinot Noir [WE93]

Producer: Balletto Vineyards Region: Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California Varietal: Pinot Noir Year: 2022 Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points  "Bright bing cherry, and sarsaparilla aromas waft from the glass of this generous Pinot. Flavors of candied raspberry, lavender, toasted hazelnut and a streak of tangerine acidity mingle on the broad and expansive palate. A few years in the cellar will soften this up nicely."   Winemaker Notes:  "Bright and dark simultaneously, with mocha and earth aromas playing off fresh cherries. It has a wide and silky palate, booming aromas and just enough acidity and tannins to pull the wine through to a long and lasting finish. It's quite a ride.  Under the initial aromas is a distinct and interesting spice undertone that aromatically lifts the wine, but it’s the mid- palate weight, texture and perfect touch of acidity that define it. It’s full and coating, start to finish, wave upon wave of pinot pleasure."  Alcohol: 14.2%  Sustainably farmed.  *Pr
